Anyone else tether for gaming? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

Now that LTE has been accessible in my neighborhood Id like to try and play BF3 while on my tethered network.
However, Tmobile only allotted me 500 mb per month complementary. I still tether, but only with user agent switched.
Now when I go to play BF3, in battle log it says my computer must be windows vista or above. So its reading the user agent and not letting me play =[
any ideas?

Yeah, stop tethering your phone to play BF3. Buy home internet service.

I have to get internet through a satellite. Super slow speeds but I get Tmobile LTE and I get about 40megs down

Wow. I get 50mb down 10 up and TV for 50 on xfinity. I did use tether when the internet went down for around an hour because there was a really bad thunder storm and it messed with their signal. It was pretty good. My Nat was moderate though. And I only tried it on BO 2

I've had LTE in my area now for a month or so I would say. Used it the other day to tether my PS3 while I played Black Ops 2. Connection was great, NAT was open I believe, and my connection in the game was always green with 4 bars and zero lag. I eventually hit the free 500MB tethering limit with T-Mobile and upgraded to the 4GB option. It's good to have in a backup situation when the power goes out or I lose home internet.

If you're rooted you can try Wifi Tether:

I play BF3. The problem will be latency, not bandwidth. From what I've read using wifi tether no on has had a problem yet. Not sure how you're lag will be like. Try it out and let us know if it's playable.

Sorry for the late reply, i dont use wifo tether. Tried that and got some very strange cut outs when doing speed tests.
Usb tethering gives me constant speeds. I spent a good month toying with wifi tethering using different adapters and they all had the same results (even an expensive 5ghz 500mbps wireless ncard would give me inconsistent signal.)
I am rooted but didnt have the tethering mod installed until my 500 mb free ran out. Hoping that when it comes back next month i can try to play bf3 again.

I don't think you can open your Nat using the hotspot because you have to open your ports to have a open Nat. This is my opinion you might be able to though

Well on a router you would go to your pc then the router settings and it should be called port forwarding and just type in the ports you wanted open and if its udp or tcp and that would open your ports but not sure how to do it on a phone . When I tether to my Xbox I have a moderate Nat

Wouldn't matter if you were using PDANet, Sprint's $30/month wifi tether, or any other wifi tether, 3g data speeds on sprint are sporadic, with a minimum advertised of 600k/down and a max advertised speed of 1400k/down, if memory serves. A lot of times, especially in the busy hours of the day, your speeds will be much lower on 3g.
Forgot to mention your ping time and upstream will also affect your lag on gaming like this. You can use free apps like speedtest (With your wifi shut off) to test your 3G speeds,
which will report ping, downstream and upstream. In my area, I average 400-700ms ping times, which is over a half second, on off hours (4am-8am) I can get very low ping times and fast speeds, but during the day, I get crap ping, crap downstream, and crap upstream.

You cant use PDAnet on a ps3, as you need to install a client program on the ps3, which is impossible.
Like everyone else says, 3g is too slow to use to play online games. Even if sprint had decent 3g speeds (which it doesnt) the ping times to get to and from the tower and network are way to high, you will always have lag. If you had 4g coverage, it would be fast enough, but again, ping times would kill you compared to other people using cable modems.
thanks guys very informative
I play cod,bf with my ps3 online everyday on 3g with very few issues using stock cm7.1 tether. I'm not even in a very good area. I only get 1-2 bars out of 4 here at my house.
Having the Nat type open isn't super important anyway.

plz help with 4g tethering

Hello,
I have the epic 4g touch rooted with starburst rom. I installed android wifi tether app and I am able to connect to the wifi from laptop, but i cant actually browse to any websites. I can ping from cmd prompt to sites. When I use sprint hotspot everything works fine. Also is there an app that will let me tether at 4g speed?

3rd party tethering apps (ie, wifi tether, usb EasyTether, bluetooth tether) are not subjected to the 5GB Hot Spot Sprint limitation. The data used by these apps are seen as "phone data" which is unlimited, whereas Hot Spot data is limited to 5GB with overage charges/fees.
Am I right?
Plus... it's bad enough having the phone run on 4G now you want it to act like a wireless router transmitting over wifi to tether a laptop. HOT HOT HOT
I think 4G tethering is most efficient and "coolest" in temperature over USB Tethering. If you must tether wirelessly, then Bluetooth is probably better than wifi. Not as big of a battery drain.

hey so i dont have bluetooth on my laptop.. i just use it at work on my laptop to stream music, netflix etc. so which thrid party app would be recommended for 4g. I get great 4g signal at my office. Also i get really really crappy speed with usb tethering like 069 dwn and .65 up
what version of wifi tether are you using?
I'm using v3-beta-6. I can connect using 4g, browsing websites and such. But for some reason, the down steam speeds are capped at ~0.7Mbs when I run a speed test. On my phone, I get 10Mbs down. I know its using 4g because the ping time is much lower and my upload stream is 1.5Mbs.
On 3g, i'm only getting .85 Mbs down and 0.5Mbs up

Also as far as it causing issues with Sprint you can rest assure if that was the case it would be posted all over this community. I am not sure why your phone is not working properly with the wifi tethers but I can assure you that Sprint Hotspot on our phone works quite lovely. Also the data usage restrictions do not apply for phones but for actual Hotspot devices. Please go to the link listed above flash the hotspot mod and enjoy life..... It works I am on it right now....

I'm not sure what hot spot thread you were in but the hot spot hack works on 3g and 4g. And it reads now with 4g not help with 4g... I've used it on both ek02 and el29 with no issues. I hardly ever use sprints crappy 3g and I'm tethering fine. Also take into consideration the hot spot is infrastructure and can be access by more than just computers unlike the tether apps on the market which all are ad hoc...

Meant to edit my 1st post and I quoted myself.. Wow I must be smoking some good ish!!!
I have Calk 2.8.1 which supports sprint 4g hotspot. But in reality, I can never get download speed past the 3g speed. Upload is fast but download seems to be capped to 3g speed a confirmed by other users. EasyTether blows them all away with 4g speed of 8-10 Mbps. But of course it is not wireless and does not support infra structure mode.
Here's what I did to get full 4g speed while tethering via wifi..
Go to market and install filter proxy..
Open application, enable it and remember port number (Default is 8000)
Start wifi tethering..
Setup proxy in your browser, point it to your phone's ip address and port 8000 (if you use default)
Do this for http, https and ftp..
And you are all set.. Test your speed.

I can't seem to find the exact app. Will this work with Sprint Hotspot WIFI tethering or just the 4G Android Wifi Tether.
I just tested Android WifiTether 3.1beta 6 and it seems to pass the full 4g speed to connected device. I am losing 10% or less in 5 tests.

Yeah, I burned through that already. I had a iPhone 5S that I had free tethering mod on and currently at 52GB on data on TMobile and my 2.5GB is also already used up lol.
Now on Note 3, currently looking for a way to enable free wifi tethering since my Comcast connection is currently turned off.
I have the Wifi Thering app but dont know which settings work for the Note 3.
I may have to wait until the custom roms are cooked up with unlocked tethering baked in.

Oh this method still requires the UA switcher. Nothing will bypass that part since its done on T-Mobile's servers. I thought you were automatically getting redirected to T-Mobile upsell page even with the UA switcher.

Changing my UA works fine. I was thinking there was a hack or work around so that the HotSpot would work perfect on any device. PS3 and XBox ect...
I hear you man I use 10 gigs a day, just use UA switcher set to Safari on chrome and you can tether to your heart's desire. All websites look normal with that setting and Netflix won't give you the download app for mobile message lol. There hasn't been a wifi tether fix for quite some time regardless of the phone as far as I know, its a common request in most forums regardless of device or carrier. Anyway like I said I tether 10 gigs a day using T-Mobile hotspot with no throttling either but according to them they do throttle regular data unless your on the highest data/tether plan. So if you keep the lowest tether plan you can get unlimited tethering with UA switcher or hopefully with a workaround eventually but your data will be throttled at some point for all data unless you bump up your plan.

Sorry I assumed you had tethering since the Simple Choice plan comes with 500mb included in the 50 dollar plan. Then you could simply use UA Spoofer on Chrome, if your on some sort of prepaid thing without any tethering included then I have no clue except use Pda Net for now.
why not just buy the easytether app?
That way it will use your data rather than hotspot

Here is the quote from T-Mobile site for business account:
"Besides unlimited talk, text, and web, your Simple Choice for Business plan includes up to 500 MB of high-speed data. But if you need more, you can add extra data to any line. All data plans are unlimited while on T-Mobile’s network." "Add 2 GB to your included 500 MB of high-speed data. Smartphone Mobile HotSpot included. Speeds slowed after 2.5 GB."
Call them up and have them activate it on your phone, I had to call for my kid's iPhone but mine was working out of the box.

When you spoof it uses your regular data, personally I have the paid App Klink Red Edition but it stopped working when I switched to T-Mobile. No need to pay a few dollars for an app when you can do it free but Pda-Net works great and it is cheap enough, still it uses spoofing as well just from in the app and not at the browser end, I'm pretty sure all the tethering apps make it look like your using data from your device.
Anyone get VPN working? Mine stops routing when I connect.
I start the Hotspot tethering app first and then start PIA VPN app.

I set up tethering the other day. I dont burn through data like some of you, but im curious about the limit. Is that 2.5gig limit tied to the 2.5gig lte (then hspa drop) data plan limit? Or is it just a 2.5gigs of tethering regardless of your plan and then no more tethering for the month? Furthermore, when you exceed that amount, im taking it from these posts that the tethering app stops accepting connections and you're not just dropped to the hspa network? I dont think ill hit that limit, i only use tethering for remote access when im on call and out and about. But it would be good to know for sure.

It won't work. Only way is to use a UA spoofer for no slowdown or hide your vpn which will slow down data. Used to root right away just to use his wifi tether but heck I don't think that method has worked in months.
This is one of my biggest problem ATM. I need tether. Been using Wifi Tether TrevE Mod on GS3 and it work great. Keep posting we need a solution for this.
So I'm on the only one with this problem. .. I'm using Darthstalker ROM which has unrestricted native tethering. The only sites that work are Google and YouTube only works the rest just doesn't load or I get the "Oops!*Google*Chrome could not connect to___" message. Sigh....
Someone recommend to switch from lte to 4g-3g-E connection, but that didn't work for me.

I mentioned this twice yesterday that after I flashed Darthstalker I could only visit a couple of websites whereas before I could go anywhere. I tried everything but had to go back to stock. You can have unlimited tethering using one of two methods, either just use native tethering and use UA Spoofer extension with chrome browser set to Safari or pay for PDA Net and set it to level 1 hiding usage.
If you decide to pay for PDA Net then you can stay with Darthstalker rom, go ahead and try it out for free before you buy it. Remember if you go the spoofer way then websites will not see you as Chrome, doesn't affect me at all since they format correctly and Netflix works. Unlimited tethering either way. I have paid app Klink Red Edition which did this for me with previous phones but it stopped working fyi.
Im currently using the US spoofer on the google chrome on my desktop, but there has to be a way to get full tether unlock with out throtling from TMobile.
I use to do it all the time and tether my PS3 and XBOX 360 back when I had Sprint and back when they had WiMax 4G on there phones.
TMobile must have some technology on there end that throttles on the server side so the hacking cant be done on the device end it sounds like.
Thanks everyone for the effort, I guess it's time just to suck it up and face the facts thar TreVe mod is a no-go on the Note 3. I'm just going to stick to using the US spoofer.

Why are so many people asking for tethering stuff? Doesn't tmobile allow tethering? At least they do for me. They also seem to allow me to go WAY over the 2.5gb of 4g. I have never gotten throttled...ever. And I usually hit ~5gb a month. I love tmobile
I'll be getting a tmobile note 3 on tomorrow. Do I need to root in order to enable tethering (using the spoofer) or can I just activate the native tethering app (without rooting) and then set the spoofer in chrome. Right now, I have tethering on my Note 2 but it involved me having to root the phone and then using trevmod wifi tether. Even then, I still have to set up the spoof in Chrome.
I'm on stock but rooted ROM. Don't TrevE mod set up on mine yet, but you folks saying you can just use a UA Spoofer, are you talking about with TrevE mod or just the native hotspot? I tried the stock tethering using Chrome User Agent Spoofer, but still I got the up sell page... which is why I'm confused...

You don't need root.

Your right they are great, they don't charge for roaming or going over your tethering limit but only state they may throttle data. Thing is they can throttle your regular data non tethered unless your on the truly 100% unlimited data, I use 100's of gigs a month the majority tethered so its people like me that are more likely to get throttled lol.

What UA Spoofer plugin do you use in Chrome? There are several and I think I may not be using a good one. I constantly get the upsell page...

Native hotspot plus UA Spoofer in Chrome or try Pda Net trial. Some times you need to play around a little with the spoof settings using different spoofs until you stop seeing the upsell. As long as you have a plan that includes the free 500mb tethering otherwise your native app may not be live, in that case try PdaNet. I'm on a simple choice family plan with two lines and I upgraded my data to truly unlimited for $20 more a month to avoid any throttling issues. The last time I got TrevE to work it was so slow it became unuseable, this was back on my S4. I believe it has problems on most devices for a couple of months now on at least Sprint and T-Mobile that I know of.
My daughter can make a wifi hotspot with her iPhone 5 and she uses her laptop with the spoofer no problems, my laptop won't connect to hotspot so I am tethering via usb on my Note 3 but I think its a problem with my laptop antenna or something. Still we are both tethering day and night since our phones are our only internet connections at home, we don't have cable since we stream Netflix and I download my favorite shows and movies.
Anyone get VPN working? Mine stops routing when I connect.
Sadly, the built in tether does not work if you are on the $30 prepaid plan. Any advice?

Sadly, that's for a different plan. I'm on the prepaid, $30 a month, 5gig of 4g data, unlimited 3g data, 100 minutes, unlimited text messages.
Not working ??

Hi. I have the $30 prepaid plan (100min talk, 5GB data and unlimited text) I should be able to get 100Mb data via mobile hot spot but it does not seem to work properly. I am able to connect a device via hot spot but that's it. No data is transmitted. My account says I have used 0 of my hot spot data. Any ideas? Thanks!
EDIT: I just came back from my local Tmoble store and the salesperson there told me that there is no tethering allowed with my current plan. I would need to pay $15 extra per month and the tethering data would come off my 5GB data. That sound right? I guess that is still not too bad as a regular plan is $60 per month instead of the $45 I would now have to pay. Any thoughts?

I used the tethering add-on for $15 quite a while back, and it took data from the 5gb. There doesn't seem to be any special allotment on the $30 plan like there is for other plans. I also was never able to gain access the 100mb that I had read comes with the plan for free. All tethering does seem to be blocked on this particular plan until you either add the $15 add-on option, or you root and install a 3rd party program that will enable tethering.

a useful little trick...

hello everyone. just wanted to share a little trick i figured out.
occasionally i run short on bills, and broadband gets cut off.
lovely thing i found out how to do is, feed my mobile data into my home router.
i do this through laptop. pretty simple.
1: tether phone to computer
2: go into windows network settings.
3: click change adapter settings.
4: highlite your tether and your lan both. hold ctrl and click each of them.
5: right click and "Bridge Connection"
6: plug a lan cable from computer ethernet into line IN on router.
7: Wifi through whole house WITH ports for wired connections.
8: DANCE AND GIGGLE FOR SCREWING THE BIG CORPORATIONS!
quite useful if you have the unlimited lte like i do. i've used over 70 gb in a month before running everything.
if you like this, click thanks please.

Bridge networking has been popular for awhile
Its how i use both my Tether speeds AND my dad's home WiFi 1MB per second download.

of course it has. but there are always people who haven't heard about it.
i've never seen anything in here about it and it's incredibly useful with T Mo's unlimited 4g.
the lovely thing about the web is we all share. even reshare, to help fellow peeps.
of course, there are also drawbacks too.
for instance, people can be snippy and snide to amuse themselves.
but hey. take the good and the bad, right?
Thanks for this! I've heard of bridging, but never understood/never bothered to find out more about it. This could be useful.
Do they throttle your data speed? (Does it show up as mobile hotspot usage?) With my cable internet, I stream Netflix and Hulu and use about 85-100gb a month. I'd like to get rid of cable if I could just upgrade to the unlimited data plan and use that instead.

Is there a way to just bridge my phone to the pc? The router is on the opposite side of the house from my computer.

I have the unlimited 4g. Depending on what Rom and such you run, very easy to tether without them noticing.

There are some tutorials on how to use Windows laptop as a WiFi router on Google.you can usb tether, perhaps. I bridge phone to router to get much greater distance than phone alone can manage.
I thought you had limitations on how much tethering data you could have with the unlimited plan?

Not sure about GPE ROM's.
I just got a Nexus 5 for my partner. Having problems getting it tethered.
Well for some reason my tethered data is hidden from my company laptop but not my personal desktop at home. How are you hiding your data? I tried the link you posted but I get an error when using the tethering app. And others in the thread say the same thing.
You can take action with this process for GS4...........
